Oh Maxine how adorable!!! Love the background for this... the added ink makes the design pop so beautifully! Love the cute bear image too! I can remember when my DD was born on what would have been my mom and dad's 40th anniversary... had my dad lived to see it, and my mom made the statement that the Lord had filled the void in her life with the gift of a new life, and one which filled her with great joy since she lived with us at the time. So thankful for the gift of new life... whether the birth of a baby, or the rebirth of a soul!!!

Such a cute card. I recognise that blue background baby paper as I have some myself and it looks great with the embossed textured added to it. I had never thought to emboss patterned paper. And it is such a cute bear too.

About Me

I am first and foremost a Christian, who was married to a most wonderful Godly man for 43 years. We were/I am blessed with two adult offspring and three beautiful grandchildren. There are also others in our 'patchwork family' whom we love dearly.

I am a New Zealander, aka a Kiwi, and have lived here all my life, although I have traveled to Australia and Tonga for holidays.

I love crafting and gardening. Housework and cooking are inescapable essentials!!
